Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Gable's first romantic comedy in over a decade. Studio execs thought he was too old for Day; their 23-year age gap was controversial even in 1958.
The film gently mocks 1950s pop psychology craze through Dr. Pine's character, reflecting real skepticism toward the era's therapeutic culture.
